Onboard Experience

At the Alaska Railroad, we believe the journey should be as spectacular as the destination. For us, that means comfortable, reliable transportation; knowledgeable and helpful onboard staff; and exceptional dining experiences. And it doesn’t hurt that our tracks travel through some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world.

We are proud to offer two classes of passenger service: GoldStar Service and Adventure Class. Please note that GoldStar Service is only available on the Coastal Classic and Denali Star Trains; Adventure Class seating is available on every Alaska Railroad route.

Dining and bar service is available on all Alaska Railroad routes with the exception of the Hurricane Turn Train. GoldStar Service is inclusive of meals, soft drinks and two complimentary adult beverages. Please note that Alaska Railroad trains are cashless; all onboard purchases must be made by credit or debit card.

Excellent customer service is a cornerstone of riding with the Alaska Railroad. From the wait staff and bartenders to the knowledgeable local tour guides, we aim to ensure that every guest has a comfortable, enjoyable experience traveling by rail.
